Being a dancer myself, I have to say I love this show out of the rest of the dance show out there. I have my favorite dancers from the previous seasons and the dancers this season don’t even match up to them but they are still fabulous dancers.

What have you done to this season? I just watched the salsa and I was bored to death! The poor dancers, with poor choreography and terrible music choices, are getting panned when it’s the fault of the choreographers and their music choices. You have made me cry and shout and love the past seasons. I’m afraid this year is a boring, crying for passion bust!!! Sorry, but I will no longer tune in and wait excitedly for the joy of the dance. There is no joy this season; it’s just plain boring. Please think about this. I have loved you for years and I find you are just as boring as bots and computers. Perhaps you have become ciphers!!!! Where is the joy of the dance and the passion of music and the combination that should be incredibly joyous?

What’s with the RE RUNS?

SYTYCD Fan

I don’t understand why they would have these dancers try to live up to previous iconic dances from Mia Michaels. It is unfair to judge these dancers when the previous performances were so great! How can you judge a dance that was already interpreted by others and still be fair? This idea seems to have these dancers set up for failure if they can’t do better than the original, but if these dances had never been seen before would we love these more? Seems unfair to me.

I just wanted to say how great the show was in Buffalo, NY on 11/9. The show just flowed non-stop and it was great that you used the alternates and they had solos. Whoever the producer was did an outstanding job-it was the best show yet and the venue was beautiful. Please come back next year.
